CANUSA Games
The CANUSA Games are an annual contest, primarily for athletes age 18 and under, between the sister cities of Flint, Michigan, USA, and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The Games are the longest-running amateur sports competition in North America.〔Whitwell, Carli. "(CANUSA games kick off )", ''The Hamilton Spectator'', 2008-08-08. Retrieved on 2008-12-05.〕 The games are held in alternative locations, with Hamilton, Ontario hosting in odd-numbered years.
==History==
As a result of the Flint Olympian Games held in Flint, Michigan in July 1957, the Flint officials of the Games wanted a city, of similar size and population, to compete with on a yearly basis. Hamilton was selected, which birthed the "CANUSA" games, whose name was derived from combining the names Canada and USA - CAN/USA.
The Games began in August 1958, and consisted of 200 athletes (from each city) competing in seven different sports. The Games have grown considerably, which is supported by the more than 1,600 athletes from each city competing in 17 different competitive sports, including basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, darts, golf, track and field, and swimming.〔 An estimated 25,000 people have participated in the games in their 50 years.〔Holmes, Kevin. "(CANUSA Games celebrate 50 years )", ABC12 News, 2007-05-09. Retrieved on 2008-12-05.〕
